About this dive site

This dive site is named for its stunning underwater topography, which resembles a manicured Japanese garden. It features a gently sloping reef covered in a dense and colourful array of hard corals, giant barrel sponges, and rope sponges. The constant current provides nutrients that support a vibrant population of reef fish, making it a classic Tobago drift dive.
